If somebody doesn’t need to play at 4k 60fps doesn’t mean they don’t care about graphics at all.

There are graphics settings in between maxed out and bare minimum for a reason. I guess whatever floats your boat. I couldn’t justify spending 2000 on GPU plus another 1000 on a CPU + monitor just so I can go from 1080p to 4k. Does that mean I don’t care about graphics? No, it just means I don’t value 4k over 1080p at a $3000 price tag. I’m “fortunate” (if that’s what you call wage labor) enough that I could afford it, but it’s just not a priority for me.

What games are the 5% that need a 5090 to enjoy? I can run any game on the market right now at a minimum 1080p 60fps on my 3060.

Elden Ring is an RPG, not sure what you’re saying.

This might be a unpopular view but I think games like Elden Ring or Lies of P are a better RPGs. More action packed, less busy/boring missions. I beat BG3 and had fun for the first half of the game, the last half was a bit of a drag. I tried KCD 1 and couldn’t get into it, going from one end of the map to another doing mindless tasks. It was more of a middle-age simulator. I put ~250 hours into Elden Ring + DLC and I wanted more by the end of it.

Either way, I have some hope for the future of games.
